As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, everyone behind him looked at him in disbelief.

Tokugawa Iemo exclaimed directly:

"Imbalanced nutrition? Is that all?"

Qingdeng nodded solemnly.

"That's right, that's just it."

"As long as you pay more attention to the nutritional balance of your diet, you will not suffer from beriberi."

"Or even simpler - eating more brown rice on weekdays can effectively prevent beriberi."

Everyone's expressions had become numb from the continuous expressions of shock.

Although no one spoke, their facial expressions conveyed the same message - brown rice? Can eating brown rice prevent beriberi?

In the eyes of the public nowadays, brown rice is the food of the poor, but anyone with a little money will not touch this kind of food.

Qingdeng smiled slightly:

"Don't underestimate brown rice."

“Brown rice happens to be rich in nutrients that can prevent beriberi.”

"Have you ever heard of poor people getting beriberi?"

Everyone stopped talking.

Poor people getting beriberi - it was really unheard of.

In modern times, the official scientific name for beriberi is "vitamin B1 deficiency disease".

As the name suggests, this is a disease caused by a lack of vitamin B1.

Clinical manifestations include weakness, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, and severe cases may lead to death from weakness.

Vitamin B1 is a very common organic substance. There are many kinds of foods rich in vitamin B1.

For example: the skin (rice bran, wheat bran) of rice, wheat, and corn is very rich in vitamin B1.

In other words, as long as you eat more brown rice, you are unlikely to get beriberi.

In the Edo period, crystal clear rice was a luxury food and a symbol of status.

Being able to eat rice as a daily staple food means that this person has considerable wealth.

The Zhongding family eats rice every meal, and the rice is filled to the brim, but the side dishes are extremely simple. A few pieces of pickled radish, a few pickles, and a small piece of tofu can complete the meal.

He didn't even eat any side dishes, just white rice.

If things go on like this, you will naturally become susceptible to beriberi.

The poor people cannot eat rice on weekdays and can only eat brown rice, so the poor people are not prone to this disease.

Therefore, beriberi is also called nobleman's disease and Edo disease - because there were many rich and noble people in Edo.

The reason why Qingdeng knew this knowledge was because he accidentally came across an article while surfing the Internet.

This article explains beriberi in detail.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Japanese army attracted poor people to join the army with the preferential treatment of "as long as you serve as a soldier, you can eat rice."

As a result, because the soldiers ate rice too hard and the side dishes were too simple, beriberi became popular in the army.

In response to this situation, doctors suggested limiting the supply of rice and allowing the soldiers to eat less rice and more brown rice.

However, this directly caused great dissatisfaction among the soldiers - I came to join the army just to eat rice! Why don't you give me rice? You are national traitors! God punishes you!

In this way, a mutiny was almost triggered.

After Qingden finished speaking, everyone looked in a daze.

They lowered their heads and stared at the food on the table with emotion on their faces.

It can not only strengthen the body, but also prevent beriberi... It turns out that there is so much knowledge in this sumptuous dish!

Not only the daily exercises, but also the three meals a day have so many surprises.

Is this the Shinsengumi?!

Gudong.

I don't know who it was, but he swallowed hard.

Immediately afterwards, it was like a chain reaction—

Gudong, Gudong, Gudong...

The "gudong" sound of swallowing saliva kept ringing.

Even though Tokugawa Iemo and others had been gibbering for a long time, their mouths had already been filled with saliva and they couldn't swallow it all.

Qingdeng's words just now completely dispelled the last worry in their hearts.

Finally... Tokugawa Iemo once again set an example.

He took a deep breath, then slowly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork, and put it into his mouth.

The moment the pork entered his mouth, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from his eyes.

Everyone is looking forward to his evaluation.

However, he said nothing.

He just picked up his chopsticks again and silently took a big mouthful of rice into his mouth.

Then, grilled eggplant, scrambled eggs, potatoes, miso soup... He tasted every dish on the plate one by one and carefully.

From the moment he turned on the chopsticks, his cheeks were full, like a hamster stocking up on food for the winter.

It can be seen that he really wants to control his eating speed so that his eating movements can be more elegant and not so rude.

It's just that... his thoughts are beautiful, but his body is very honest.

I saw that his eating speed was getting faster and faster, and it became more and more difficult to control. His cheeks were stretched to the limit, but he was still stuffing food into the gap between his lips.

Although he didn't say a word, his actions said it all.

Seeing this, the others no longer hesitated and started using their chopsticks.

Then, the expressions they showed were exactly the same as Tokugawa Iemo's - after the food was eaten, their expressions became extremely exciting.

The embers of the firewood blend with the fat of the pork, emitting an indescribable aroma.

It has a soft texture that can't be called sweet or salty. It has a rich texture and a mellow aftertaste.

The crispy potato texture is equally addictive!

Everyone transformed into "all hungry people" and feasted.

This devouring attitude seemed like he wanted to swallow his own tongue.

General of the Conquest of Barbarians, Grand Imperial Office, Post-General, Political President, Lord of the Aizu Domain... a big shot who could shake the entire Edo shogunate with just a few coughs, here he is "humming hummingly"

Chewing the Shinsengumi's military rations happily...

This scene is both hilarious and unbelievable.

For people like them who have never eaten good food since childhood, especially meat, and have eaten pickled radishes and pickles all their lives, and their intestines are extremely vegetarian, this kind of hard vegetables with full color, flavor and flavor is indeed

It is an extraordinary and top-notch delicious food!

Even Keiki Hitotsubashi, Harugaku Matsudaira and others who had no dealings with Aoto had to admit: this meal... no, the food of the Shinsengumi is really delicious!

According to the regulations of the shogunate, all high-ranking people have a dedicated team of poison testers to check their daily meals.

By the time the poison tester confirmed that the food was non-toxic, the food had already been completely cold.

Therefore, Tokugawa Iemo and others did not have access to hot meals or dishes on weekdays.

Without even the most basic temperature, the taste cannot be expected.

However, based on their extremely simple menu, it doesn't make much difference whether you eat hot or cold food.

Tokugawa Iemo, Tenjoin and others who were born in the aristocracy have received extremely strict aristocratic education since they were young. Therefore, even if they are tasting rare delicacies, they have to control their behavior and expressions and try to look elegant.

.

If it weren't for their own image, they would just lick the bottom of the bowl.

On the contrary, the generals who are "pro-military" have no such concerns.

They opened their mouths wide, as if they wanted to swallow the whole set of bowls and chopsticks, "sweeping" every dish on the dinner plate with a whirlwind of momentum, and kept plucking the rice into their mouths.

The chopsticks rubbed the wall of the bowl frantically, almost scraping out sparks.

Soon, one person ate every grain of rice in the bowl and licked up every drop of juice in the bowl.

He licked his lips, looking longingly at the empty bowl in his hand.

This person is none other than Yamaki Yunro.
